strnsl 0.9.2.4 Released

Description: OpenSS7 Old News.

Approved for Immediate Release

Oct 31, 2008
OpenSS7 today announced Release 0.9.2.4 of the STREAMS Network Services Library (NSL) strnsl package.

(Edmonton, Alberta -- Oct 31, 2008)   OpenSS7 today announced Release 0.9.2.4 of the STREAMS Network Services Library (NSL) strnsl package. UNIX has traditionally provided three components of the Network Services Library, libnsl, two of which are associated with the X/Open Transport Interface/Transport Layer Interface (XTI/TLI), libxnet, the Transport Provider Interface (TPI), and STREAMS network pseudo-device drivers. Two components provide the TI (Transport Independent) interface, whereas the other provides the TS (Transport Sockets) interface. The TI components provide the Transport Independent RPC services (TI-RPC) pioneered by Sun Microsystems and subsequently standardized by the IETF.

GNU/Linux glibc provides (among other things) the RPC interface library and the TS-RPC and BSD 4.3 sockets address translation facilities in libc, and provides NIS capabilities in libnsl. STREAMS related components that are not currently part of the Linux Network Services Library (libnsl) are:

  1. Network Selection, consisting of:
  2. Name-to-Address Translation, netdir(3).

These are often referred to as the Network Selection facility of the Network Services Library. The OpenSS7 STREAMS Network Services Library package provides a library, renamed libxnsl, that provides the missing Network Selection and Name-to-Address mapping facilities designed to work with xti(3).

The OpenSS7 STREAMS Network Services Library package contains header files and the associated documentation that were originally contained in the strxnet package. This library was quickly removed from the strxnet distribution and placed in its own add-on package.

This is another separate release from The OpenSS7 Project of the OpenSS7 STREAMS Network Services Library package. This package provides the libxnsl library providing the Network Selection Facility for the Network Services Library. The package contains all the necessary manual pages and other documentation. The package is packaged as an OpenSS7 style autoconf tarball.

This is an alpha release for Linux Fast-STREAMS and is part of the OpenSS7 Master Package (openss7-0.9.2.G). The release provides support for recent distributions and tool chains.

Major features since the last public release are as follows:

  • Minor documentation corrections.
  • Kernel module license made explicit GPL v2. And then changed back to GPL.
  • License upgrade to AGPL Version 3.
  • Modifications to build under Fedora 2.6.22.5-49 kernel. These changes also support 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 kernel.
  • Ability to strap out major documentation build and installation primarily for embedded targets.
  • Improvements to common build process for embedded and cross-compile targets.
  • Modifications to build under Fedora 2.6.25-45.fc9 and 2.6.26.5-45.fc9 kernels.
  • Updated tool chain to m4-1.4.12, autoconf-2.63 and texinfo-4.13.
  • Conversion of RPM spec files to common approach for major subpackages.
  • Updated references database for manual pages and roff(1) documents.
  • Build system now builds yum(8) repositories for RPMs and apt-get(8) repositories for DEBs. Installation documentation has been updated to include details of repository install sourcesref.
  • Added MODULE_VERSION to all modules and drivers.
  • Several important bug fixes for thread safety of the socket library: see BUGS in the release, or Bugs in the manual, for more information.

This is a public alpha release of the package. This package is currently incomplete. It is being released as a reference point for the community. If you are interested in completion of this package, contact info@openss7.com.

As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles, installs and builds RPMs and DEBs for a wide range of Linux 2.4 and 2.6 RPM- and DPKG-based distributions, and can be used on production kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel.

This package is publicly released under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL) Version 3. The release is available as an autoconf tarball, SRPM, DSC, and set of binary RPMs and DEBs. See the downloads page for the autoconf tarballs, SRPMs and DSCs. See the strnsl package page for tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs, and binary RPMs and DEBs.

See ChangeLog and NEWS in the release, or Release Notes in the manual, for more information. Also, see the strnsl.pdf manual in the release (also in html).
